Good book for smaller businesses looking to sell to government. Found it less useful as an introduction to understanding how the bigger contractors compete.

I believe this book is intended for someone who has simply thought about starting up a contracting firm or company but never sought out more information previous to reading this. Throughout the book you will notice the simplistic style and the author's attempts to break it down for the lowest common denominator on how to break into government contracting.

Throughout the book you will notice the simplistic style and the author's attempts to break it down for the lowest common denominator on how to break into government contracting. People who have no experience in contracting will find this a helpful tool as a first place to start. There are numerous references to help readers and point them in the right direction on where to start looking for information. Having said that, the book is not very specific and calls for the reader to do a lot of information searching and general research on their own. There's quite a bit of name-dropping in certain chapters and I felt it was more the author's prerogative to give shout outs for no reason rather than to inform. Much of the information in the book is available on the internet, in fact the book tells you to refer to web links quite a few times which might be good for a "For Dummies" book but I was expecting a little more.

If you are exploring the possibility of selling your products or services to the Government you MUST read this book. The book will guide you through the different stages of selling, from business development all the way through the different acquisitions vehicles, and even touch on how to leverage social media. This book will save you time (years), money, and mistakes, even if you are already selling to Global One (the Government).

This book will save you time (years), money, and mistakes, even if you are already selling to Global One (the Government). Memorable quote in the book: " The Lord's player contains 56 words; the Gettysburg Address, 266 words; the Ten Commandments, 297 words, the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, 300 words. The U.S. government specification describing a chocolate chip cookie? It contains 25,600 words!"
